Taiwan's balancing act

Two young Taiwanese share their lives and views in the run up to the election.

Former BBC Taiwan correspondent Cindy Sui meets two young Taiwanese voters, Shirley Lin and Dennis, who have very different views about the island, its future and its relationship with mainland China. While one is a committed peace campaigner and seeks to reduce antagonism between Taiwan and China, the other has signed up to train with a citizen's army,to be ready for Chinese aggression. We follow them in their work and with their friends, and hear their differing reflections on an an island and an electorate being watched by a global audience.
